In the last decade, various clinical trials proved the capability of visual
prostheses, in particular retinal implants, to restore a useful form of vision.
These encouraging results promoted the emerging of several strategies for
neuronal stimulation aiming at the restoration of sight. Besides the traditional
approach based on electrical stimulation through metal electrodes in the
different areas of the visual path (e.g., the visual cortex, the lateral
geniculate nucleus, the optic nerve, and the retina), novel concepts for neuronal
stimulation have been mostly exploited as building blocks of the next generation
of retinal implants. This review is focused on critically discussing recent major
advancements in the field of retinal stimulation with particular attention to the
findings in the application of novel concepts and materials. Last, the major
challenges in the field and their clinical implications will be outlined.
